For a richer flavor, consider using homemade tomato sauce instead of tomato puree. Feel free to adjust the amount of cumin, salt, and pepper to your liking. Serve immediately to prevent the pita bread from becoming soggy.

Jun 1, 2025I didn't have any fresh parsley, so I used dried. It still tasted great, but I'll definitely use fresh next time.
